Independence Day Run

Independence Day Run

Kick off your 4th of July celebrations with a burst of energy at the Independence Day Run! Whether you’re running, walking, or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, this patriotic event is the perfect way to celebrate freedom, fitness, and fun with friends and family. Fox River Park offers a stunning natural setting with mature woodlands, wetlands, and a variety of wildflowers. It’s the perfect place to escape and feel like you’re in the northern woods of Wisconsin—without ever leaving Waukesha County.

Celebrate the spirit of freedom and independence with an unforgettable morning of fitness, fun, and community. Start your holiday on the right foot—literally! Run, walk, or cheer… and let freedom ring!

Important GPS Tip: When navigating to Fox River Park, use the address, not the park name. Many GPS units may direct you to a different park!
